What to expect from an EICR in Hackney Wick
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. Here's what the local housing means for yours.
In the Hackney Wick census neighbourhood, 69% of homes are flats and 21% are terraced houses, the same share as across London. Council tax records show most homes built after 1972: 24% from 1973 to 1999, against London's 13%, and 39% since 2000. A flat from 1973 to 1999 may still run on its original consumer unit, possibly with no RCD protection at all. One wired from 2008 onwards is likely to have wide RCD protection, though lighting circuits were only brought in with the 2018 edition. So the inspection looks at condition and change, not at age alone.
Social renting sets Hackney Wick apart: 45% of households rent from a social landlord, nearly twice London's 23%. If you hold the lease on a flat in one of these blocks and let it privately, the EICR is your responsibility as landlord. Your report is confined to whatever your own consumer unit feeds, room by room. The freeholder deals with landing lights, door entry and the supply into the block, and arranges its own inspection of those. Knowing where that line falls helps when a report mentions something outside your flat, because the fix then sits with the freeholder.
No listed buildings stand within 300 m of Hackney Wick station. The count covers only that radius, so a listed home elsewhere in E9 still needs its status checked before repairs are planned. Preparation is mostly about access. In a block, find out whether the meter sits in a locked room and who holds the key. Check, too, whether the consumer unit is in the flat or in a cupboard outside it. In a terraced house, clear the way to the meter, the consumer unit and the loft hatch. Mention any outbuilding with power, as its circuit is part of the installation.
Booking a visit in Hackney Wick
Getting in
Tell us who holds the keys and whether a concierge, porter or managing agent needs notice. We need access to the flat and to its consumer unit, wherever that sits in the building.
Tenants
If the home is let, give us your tenant's name and number when you book and we'll agree the time with them directly.
Parking
If parking is restricted near the property, tell us when you book and whether a visitor permit is available.
Licensing and landlord rules in Hackney
From Hackney Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Hackney licenses shared homes across the borough and single-household lets in 17 wards. Both schemes started on 1 May 2026 and run to 30 April 2031.
Around Hackney Wick, most addresses are in Hackney Wick and King's Park wards, both inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Hackney asks for an EICR with licence applications.
Wherever you let in England, the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations require an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Any remedial work or further investigation the report requires must be done within 28 days, or sooner if it says so, and written confirmation that it's finished goes to the tenant and the council within 28 days of completion.

Questions about EICRs in Hackney Wick
How much does an EICR cost in Hackney Wick?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms. The price is fixed when you book, there's no call-out fee, and you pay when your report is ready.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Hackney?
Very likely. Shared homes need an additional HMO licence anywhere in Hackney, and single-household lets need a selective licence in 17 wards until 30 April 2031. Check the exact address with Hackney's licence checker.
Hackney Council: check property licensingLandlord EICR guide
My Hackney Wick flat only has the electrical certificate from when it was built. Does that count?
It can, for a time. A new installation gets an electrical installation certificate rather than an EICR, and government guidance for landlords accepts a valid one in place of a first EICR. The next inspection then falls no more than 5 years after the certificate's date, or sooner if it says so. From then on the usual cycle applies: an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so.
How soon can you visit Hackney Wick?
Online booking shows days up to 2 weeks ahead. Standard arrival windows are 9am to 12pm or 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday; after 4pm and weekends are on request and may carry an additional charge. Pick the day that suits you or your tenant and we'll confirm the time. If you're up against a tenancy deadline, call 0203 811 8331.
